Initial purpose of this presentation is to clarify the rationale behind
the need to find an alternative path how to properly address at least
some of the most crucial shortcomings of CMOS-based conventional digital
circuits. Main attention will be given to the possible ways how to
extend the traditional abstraction of simple switching elements (i.e.
transistors) by means of adopting the nanoscale materials likes silicon
nanowires (Si-NWs), carbon nanotubes, graphene nanoribbons, organic
polymers and other emerging structures and materials.

One of the key aspects in this perspective is the controllable
ambipolar operation of such post-silicon devices, or at least some of
them. This feature basically unlocks the possibility to prepare an
efficient realization of contemporary digital circuits and also
introduce an alternative path based on the adoption of multifunctional
circuitry paradigm. Finally, the expected direction of research
activities, which should finaly result into dissertation thesis, will
discussed along with some of the achieved results.
